Thank you for purchasing this Albrecht radio.

All our products are built to offer excellent value for money by

combining advanced features, great design and manufacturing

quality. To ensure you are familiar with the operation and features

of your radio and in order to obtain the best performance, please

read this manual carefully before operation.

Safety Warning

Never attempt to use or charge alkaline or dry cell batteries, as

batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage to the

product. When recharging Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries

with the supplied Albrecht-charger or wall adapter, use only the

supplied or Albrecht-approved rechargeable NiMH batteries. Use of

the Albrecht-charger with other brands of accumulators is not

recommended, as accumulator charging times will vary with

different brands. Avoid placing the Tectalk Smart+ PMR

transceiver for prolonged periods of time in direct sunlight or

temperatures below –20°C or above 60°C. Keep the antenna at

least 2,5cm away from your head and body. Do not use your

Tectalk Smart+ with a damaged antenna. Place the rubber covers

on the jacks when not in use.

Equipment and Accessories Supplied

2 Radios

Instruction Manual

Double stand charger

230 V wall adapter

2 headset / microphone combinations

2 x 3 pcs rechargeable NiMH batteries

Please note that the supplied headsets are not designed for motor

bike communication!

Powering the transceiver

Your Tectalk Smart+ R1 PMR 446 transceiver operates on three

AAA size rechargeable NIMH batteries. (Non-Rechargeable

Alkaline Batteries shall not be used, because Alkaline batteries

do not meet the requirements for keeping the maximum output

power more stable for the whole operating time). The charging time

is typically 12-15 hours. You can charge one or both radios at the

same time with the supplied desk charging cradle. It is also

possible to charge one radio by inserting the charge cable into the

Charge / Headset socket.

Installation of the batteries

Battery installation is made more convenient when the belt clip is

either rotated left or right to the horizontal position, or is removed.

simply rotate the clip in either direction to the horizontal position. Be

careful not to use excessive force. To remove the clip, press down

on the spring release tab and pull the clip straight out from the radio

body.

1. Using thumb, press down on battery cover at arrow and slide

cover down.

2. Then lift cover at bottom to open. Remove cover.

3. Insert three AAA NiMH batteries (positive (+) end toward the

top beginning at left side and alternating positive terminals as

shown).

Charge Information

For charging of rechargeable batteries, only the supplied CE-

approved AC adaptor shall be used in compliance with the

following specifications:

* INPUT : AC 230V 50Hz 30mA

* OUTPUT : DC 6V 200mA

Do not operate the radio during battery charging !

panel if the CTCSS tone frequency function is enabled (not oF).

Channel Selection

• From standby mode, press the MODE button once; the channel

network must be switched to the same channel and CTCSS

subcode. To communicate with other PMR units that do not have

subcodes, switch your unit to the same channel with the subcode

set to oF. The CTCSS subcodes do not prevent others from

hearing your transmissions. This will only allow you to ignore all

traffic on a given channel not using the same subcode.

illumination will be turned off automatically in about 5 seconds after

any final button is pressed.

Notes for good Communication

1. Tectalk Smart + channels are shared on a 'take turns' basis.

This means other groups may be talking on any of the

channels. A common code of courtesy is to switch to another

vacant channel and not to attempt to talk over someone who is

already using the channel you first selected.

2. The radio has been designed to maximize performance and

improve transmission range in the field. To avoid interference, it

is recommended that you do not use the units closer than 2

meters away from each other.

3. To increase battery life, use the SCAN feature only where

necessary. This feature will reduce operating time considerably.

10. Notes for Good Communication

Warning

• Remove the batteries from the transceiver if it is not expected to

be used for long periods. This will eliminate the possibility of

chemicals leaking from the batteries and corroding the

transceiver.

• Avoid exposing the transceiver to water or extremes of

temperature.

• Do not use this device in or near a mining or factory facilities,

where remotely triggered explosives are used, or in areas

labelled "Blasting Area" or “Explosion Protected”.

• Do not attempt to modify or in any way increase the output of

this transceiver. Its output is designed to meet the legal limits.

• Do not use this device or charge its batteries in potentially

explosive atmospheres.

• Turn your transceiver off wherever posted notices restrict the

use of radios or cellular telephones.

• Facilities such as hospitals may use equipment that is sensitive

to RF energy, because of this reason most hospitals do not

allow the use of any private radio sets!

• Turn your transceiver off on board aircraft when requested to do

so.

• Do not place your radio in front of a vehicle's air-bag. If the air-

bag deploys, it could propel the transceiver like a projectile

causing severe injuries.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems with your Tectalk Smart +, reset your unit by

turning it off and removing the batteries. And re-insert the batteries

and turn the unit on again. Check the battery power level since in

many cases low batteries cause problems such as no transmission,

weak receiving signal and low sound.
